Comments
Location
This looks to be a bit further east - today's Hennessy Rd rather than Johnston Rd?
Correct
Yes, closer to the Sugar Factory at East Point. Will delete the reference to Johnston Road. Thanks.
The location is the junction
The location is the junction with Tin Lok lane, there is a slight bend in the tram tracks there. The taller building in the distance was just west of Bowrington Canal. The date is likely to be early 1920s as it is possible to see the start of reclamation on the left of the photo. The same view in photographic form:
